THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

The Challenge

The San Antonio Housing Authority provides housing assistance to over 65,000 children, adults, and senior citizens who are most vulnerable to the digital divide. A majority of the individuals SAHA serves are families with children.

These are working parents who are making ends meet on less than a $12,500 annual household income. These families are often faced with tough choices about their finances and means a car payment or education often takes priority over Internet connectivity.
